Hey guys!

I hope you are well. I was looking for feedback on my startup idea.

The plan is to help Engineering Managers and CTOs personalize Visual Studio code for their developers and users.

In my mind, I envision helping Engineering Managers and CTOs to :

  • Implement Intellisense and custom code completion. To establish company-wide coding guidelines.
  • Create Custom Menus and Submenus. So developers can access company code-bases in one-click.
  • Write code boilerplate templates. To maximize developer productivity.
  • Distribute company-wide extensions on the VS Code marketplace. To market their open-source software to other companies.
  • Perhaps turn their Saas into VS Code extensions. To get closer to their target audience if they’re selling developer tools.

I went one step ahead and made a Udemy course to validate the idea. Here’s a coupon for free access. It’s free for the first 30 users. Please let me know what you guys thinks about the coursework. I’m hoping to get positive ratings and constructive feedback on course length, content covered and the general curriculum. You can try out the service and leave your feedback. Once I validate my idea, I hope to turn it into a startup.

    Hi OP, I actually just created a service where startup founders can exchange feedback for each other product and services. You can create a post there and a few other guys will write feedback for you. In order to read those feedback you will need to write a feedback for other guys as well, so it become a fair exchange. If you are interested, I will share you the link.

    I’m a CTO, engineering manager and tech co-founder. I am definitely your target market.

    What benefit would I get from this? You’ve listed a lot of features, but I don’t see how any of that will benefit me. To be honest, it just looks like a maintenance overhead. How will this help me?

    Go find five people that would pay money for this product. That is the feedback that you need. Get them to sign a letter of intent to buy when you deliver.
